About This Event
Approximate Running Times: Doors: 6:00pm Start: 7:00pm Finish: 10:30pm Few musicians can say they helped shape one of the most important comeback chapters in modern jazz history. Fewer still can say they did it at 22 years of age. This October, legendary saxophonist Bill Evans, the fiery, genre-crossing voie behind Miles Davis' 1980s resurgence returns to Australia with a world-class band featuring drummer Keith Carlock, bassist Pablo Contreras and keyboardist George Whitty. Together, this four piece moves effortlessly between high energy fusion, deep groove, blues-inflected improvisation and cinematic jazz textures. It's music built on decades of experience, but played with urgency and spontaneity. For jazz lovers, musicians and anyone who understands the weight of that Miles Davis lineage, this is not just another tour announcement, it's a rare opportunity to witness one of the great living saxophonists in full flight, backed by two masters of their craft.
